They occur in areas of sand, gravelly laterite, sandy clay on coastal & subcoastal sandplains and hills. The tree grows as a mallee abot 3-4m tall and forms dense thickets. The leaves are bright green, large and oval in shape. The flowers are large and bright, and as they are produced towards the ends of branches they are highly visible.<br /> Family: Myrtaceae &nbsp; Genus: Eucalyptus &nbsp; Species: preissiana subsp. preissiana &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Yellow<br />Member - John and ValThu, 28 Aug 2014 09:08:00 GMTBloodwoodhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/22+bloodwoodhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/22+bloodwood<a href="https://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/22+bloodwood"><img src="https://cdn.exploroz.com/images/GalleryTag_W22__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> Small tree with rough scaly tessellated bark over the trunk and branches.
